Use the given information to determine the exact trigonometric value.
\n" ); document.write( "If csc(theta)= -5/2 and 180 degrees < theta < 270 degrees; find the exact value of sin(2theta)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Note: sin = 1/csc, so sin(t) = y/r = -2/5
\n" ); document.write( "In QIII, y is negative.
\n" ); document.write( "So, y = -2 and r = 5
\n" ); document.write( "Then x = -sqrt[5^2-2^2] = -sqrt[21]
\n" ); document.write( "and cos(x) = -sqrt(21)/5
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: sin(2t) = 2*sin(t)cos(5) = 2(-2/5)(-sqrt(21)/5) = -(4/25)sqrt(21)
\n" ); document.write( "============
